Changing or Replace Ethernet/NIC in Linux

Hi blogger, reader, or finding solutioner 😀 Now i’ll post about how to Changing or replace ethernet/NIC in Linux this post may basic but every IT Support should know this.

i’ll explain with simple tips & tricks 🙂

1. Delete the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file

rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

2. and then before reboot your server/PC delete HWADDR or capture ^^ in

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

for Example like this :

HWADDR=”00:0c:29:f1:24:fa”

Reboot ur PC/Server, now look into /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules where’s exactly ur new eth? if in eth0 or eth1 just make sure that in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 you write the same with ur new NIC.

and then restart service network

/etc/init.d/networking restart
